Working under constraints makes our work better-- at least that's what I think. Have you ever seen The Five Obstructions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Obstructions)? It's one of my favorite documentaries where a Danish film maker is challenged to remake his short film 5 times, each time using a different restraint/obstruction like time, format... and well, I won't give away the rest.

Hi Kim: Hope Mocca went smoothly for you. Thanks for the note about the Five Obstructions, I must check it out. It reminds me a little bit of 99 Ways to Tell a Story. Have you read it? Also dying to see the latest on Hearts and Holes . . .: )
